A newly identified c.965C>T (p.Ala322Val) missense mutation in the GALNS gene has been associated with the severe form of Morquio syndrome (MPS IVA); the diagnosis was confirmed in a 3-year-old patient with skeletal abnormalities through whole exome sequencing, and early enzyme replacement therapy has been recommended to slow disease progression.

FABRY

Identification of c.146G > A mutation in a Fabry patient and its correction by customized Cas9 base editors in vitro

2025-01-22

This study identifies a significant mutation (c.146G>A) in exon 1 of the GLA gene in a female Fabry disease patient. Bioinformatic predictions and biochemical analyses revealed that this variant significantly reduced the stability and activity of α-galactosidase A, confirming its pathogenicity. Using an adenine base-editing technique, the mutation was corrected in vitro. The study not only identified a novel variant but also demonstrated the potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

POMPE

Genotype, phenotype and treatment outcomes of 17 Malaysian patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease and the identification of 3 novel GAA variants

2023-08-04

This is the first study to analyze the genotype and phenotype of Malaysian infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) patients, and has identified the c.1935C > A p.(D645E) as the most common mutation.

PHEX
